  1. Please Explain "Agency Nursing" to me. Thanks!

    mscsrjhm replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Agency Nurses

    I have taken care of people at their home, receiving money from their family for the care. As they were very wealthy, I took no cut in pay. (correction...very, very, very wealthy.) I also provided...

  2. need advice - delicate situation (long)

    mscsrjhm replied to mkf0605's topic in General Nursing

    Don't just quit... RUN. When someone tells you what (and what not) to chart... you know you got big problems. Nursing homes like this are shut down one day, and opened the next with same owners, new...

    mscsrjhm replied to jad2's topic in General Nursing

  4. face to face with death

    mscsrjhm replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

    Great post. Watching illness, and the dying, I am less material. Not one for trinkets. Would rather take my kids to laser tag than buy a

  5. Falsely Accused of a HIPAA Violation

    mscsrjhm replied to Mantibob's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Truly, at will covers just about everything, except discrimination and whistleblowing (some states- whistleblowers are unprotected). So, just wondering if a HIPPA violation termination would be...

  6. cancelled. again

    mscsrjhm replied to tigger2sassy1's topic in Agency Nurses

    Agency is feast or famine. Be sure that you work for 2 or more agencies. When the work hits... grab it from both agencies, that way you can get in hours, without getting overtime. Also, Thanksgiving...

  7. "A monkey can be trained to do what you nurses do"

    mscsrjhm replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    This is preposterous!!! How could a monkey possibly have appropriate bladder capacity to work in nursing???? Not to mention lifting ability!!! A jack***, on the other hand, might have the bladder...

  8. Flu shot facts

    mscsrjhm replied to Shotzie's topic in General Nursing

    True, it is contraindicated. I am lucky, I never developed a full blown allergy. I had reactions to thimerosal via contacts, and do not eat eggs-eggs cause severe GI distress. I DO, however, take a...

  9. Daughters headaches--have questions

    mscsrjhm replied to gilliganracing's topic in General Nursing

    NOW. Neurologist, ENT, you name it... see it. You have 10 years invested in that child. Don't let anyone else decide what is going on with her. A "pop" can happen with migraines, can't it? Also,...

  10. A resident swore at me!

    mscsrjhm replied to pumpkin's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure ALL nurses know about the chief. Perhaps he needs paged more often. An "old" nurse taught me years ago that many Docs have ego problems. She told me to whisper to someone else when the...

    mscsrjhm replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

  16. This Burns My Britches!

    mscsrjhm replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    The cycle is humorous. Decub in hosp... admit to LTC... heal decub... hosp for pneu... new decub. OR reverse it. Decub from LTC...etc... Funny part is talking to ER at the very hosp where they...

  17. Glad I got malpractice insurance

    mscsrjhm replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    How odd.... juries are not allowed to know whether there is insurance or not. This would unduly influence the jury. Also, how would the jury find out "after the trial" that the issue was a...

    mscsrjhm replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

  22. need some advice on getting family member medical attention against their will

    mscsrjhm replied to rhonda L's topic in General Nursing

    Understood. However, it seems as though the fine line between "force" and "help" is being treaded back and forth. As a nurse, I am under no obligation to assist anyone, other than my duties at work....

    mscsrjhm replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, wrong

  24. Glad I got malpractice insurance

    mscsrjhm replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    No one will sue you if you don't have insurance. Can't loose your home/future earnings. Attorneys don't do that. (isn't this already covered in this

    mscsrjhm replied to rhonda L's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure what you are saying... but.. people have the right to refuse to seek medical treatment, the right to refuse to listen to a medical professional, they have the right to laugh in your face...
